Our friends in Europe have been able to preorder the HTC Flyer for months, and now we will soon be able to as well. The Flyer will be available for preorder on April 24th (Today) for $499 with Best Buy as the exclusive seller.

Those in Europe have been able to get 3G versions, but the one hitting the states is just WiFi. Better than nothing right? The Flyer features a 7-inch (1024 x 600) display, aluminum body, 1.5GHz Qualcomm chip, and a version of the company’s Sense UI that is optimized for tablets. It ships with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), but HTC says there will be an eventual upgrade to 3.0 (Honeycomb).[Engadget]
